Welcome to Lexicus

Lexicus is an online web dictionary and thesaurus. We're different from other online dictionaries because we offer only pithy, precise definitions and sample word usage. In our experience, people don't want twelve-paragraph answers when a simple 8-10 word definition will do. If you agree with that philosophy, try us and see for yourself! You may search for any English-language word, and Lexicus will provide you with an appropriate definition, as well as similar and related words. We also offer sample images of nearly every person, place or thing in our dictionary, as well as offsite links to the most reputable online resources if you desire more in-depth information.
